Abstract: Disclosed herein are exosomes, compositions, and methods for the treatment of subjects infected with, or at risk for infection with a coronavirus, such as SARS-COV-2, HCoV-NL63, or SARS-COV. The disclosed exosomes comprise ACE2 protein and typically display ACE2 protein on the exosome surface. In some embodiment, the exosomes optionally are loaded with one or more additional therapeutic agents for treating an infection by a coronavirus, such as remdesivir. In some embodiments, compositions comprising the exosomes are administered to a subject in need thereof, e.g., to a subject diagnosed with, or suspected of having a SARS-COV-2 infection, an HCoV-NL63 infection, or a SARS-COV infection. In some embodiments, administration is via inhalation. In some embodiments, administration is via injection.

Abstract: A system, method, and/or apparatus is provided for production processes in which online frequently derived measurements are determined use existing online and/or offline reference measurements and real-time and/or historical data to model process variables and/or product properties to achieve enhanced production goals.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing an integrated image search system are provided. The integrated image search system supports an image search feature of a content application on a mobile device. An image identifier is received to execute an image search operation. The image identifier is received via a native operating system action that is customized to support the image search feature. The native operating system action defines an entry point to the image search feature. The entry points can be based on image identifiers identified from a share image action, a share Uniform Resource Locator (URL) action, a copy share URL action, or a drag and drop action. An image of the image identifier is used to execute the image search operation to identify image search results. An image search results page having one or more images search results is caused to be displayed.

Abstract: A Method and apparatus for resilient Decoy Routing without conspiring Autonomous Systems by instead using a DHT routing table is described. In one embodiment of the present invention, there would exist a set of Decoy Routing Nodes which would be connected via a DHT's routing table. This would enable decoy routing nodes to not depend on a predefined list. Traditionally, Decoy Routing depends upon either a pre-configured list of computer systems to connect to or is wholly dependent upon BGP to happen to route to friendly Autonomous Systems that understand the true intent of the packet being routed. This method and apparatus solves these problems by providing a means to use a dynamic routing table, provided by a DHT to ensure that a packet can be delivered to computer systems that understand how to do decoy routing. This approach further ensures that the routing table being used is one that is kept up to date automatically as a function of the DHT providing the routing table.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate systems and methods for detecting cognitive decline of a subject using passively obtained data from at least one mobile device. In an exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving passively obtained data from at least one mobile device. The method further comprises generating digital biomarker data from the passively obtained data. The method further comprises analyzing the digital biomarker data to determine whether the subject is exhibiting signs of cognitive decline.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for determining a speed of a belt moving along a transport axis in conveyor oven tunnel. The method includes providing a sensor module, capturing signals, processing the signals, and outputting least one speed estimate. The sensor module is disposed upon the moving belt. The sensor module includes a first optical sensor and a second optical sensor. The optical sensors are spaced apart by a distance D along the transport axis. Capturing signals includes capturing first and second signals from the first and second sensors respectively as they are transported along the belt and within the oven tunnel. Processing the signals includes determining a delay ?T between the signals. The speed estimate is based upon D divided by ?T.

Abstract: A method and system for modifying virtual reality (VR) boundaries based on usage includes defining, using a virtual reality system including a computer communicating with head set, a safe area defining a geographic location for a user. The safe area is monitored for when the user strays into a second area beyond the safe area. The second area is defined in relation to the safe area that the user strayed into beyond the safe area. The user interaction in the second area beyond the safe area for safety is assessed, and a determination is made when the second area is safe based on a criteria. In response to the determining that the second area is safe, not initiating an alert to the user of being outside the safe area.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for disambiguating between anonymous users associated with multiple transactions. In an embodiment, a system receives information about a transaction and generates a profile of the anonymous user associated with the transaction. In response to another transaction, the system compares the transactions to determine whether the same anonymous user is associated with both transactions. Upon determining that the same anonymous user is associated both transactions, the system adds information about the new transaction to the profile of the anonymous user.
